A Shock to the System
A Shock to the System ★★★ 1990 (R)
Business exec. Caine is passed over for a longdeserved promotion in favor of a younger man. When he accidentally pushes a panhandler in front of a subway in a fit of rage, he realizes how easy murder is and thinks it may be the answer to all his problems. Tries to be a satire take on corporate greed, etc., but somehow loses steam. Excellent cast makes the difference; Caine adds class. Based on the novel by Simon Brett. 88m/C VHS . Michael Caine, Elizabeth McGovern, Peter Riegert, Swoosie Kurtz, Will Patton, Jenny Wright, John McMartin, Barbara Baxley; D: Jan Egleson; W: Andrew Klavan; C: Paul Goldsmith; M: Gary Chang.
